That is probably him. The power of the internet!
Very early 1900s to mid 1920s. Was a weight forward idea. Had to move heavy balls on slow cloth. All the early Brunswick catalogs had these as options on shafts.
Google for the catalogs...very interesting stuff

There's a 1938 2 piece cue with similar shaft. The veneered cue is similar. There were always custom cues not in catalog.

It's very possible, this cue belonged to a 3C player. Looks about right, several 3C old timers from the 30's, 40' in Bensingers in the early 60's still had this model of Brunswick cue.
Any of you guys ever here of, 'Roger Conte', French 3 cushion champion.

in person the veneer look the same on the points and butt. Light green and light purple is my best guess.
$1000 ish, I'd pay that much depending on if it is straight and solid
Thanks for the quick reply.
